Trying to figure out if this is a large domestic cat or wild? Looks Bobcatish, but not sure. For perspective, our cat in the foreground is about 9lbs. This was taken on July 24, about 10:15 pm at my house.

You can absolutely tell a bobcat from a house cat by its appearance, even with the similarities.
Bobcats are much larger than domestic cats. They have red-brown to grayish fur with black spots, tufts on the tops of their ears and tufts on their cheeks that resemble mutton chops. They also have a very short stubby tail with a black tip.
